On January 4, Beijing time, according to the famous Wonarowski report, sources revealed that relevant people are optimistic about Thompson's comeback at home against the Cavaliers on January 10 (Beijing time, the same below). The final decision is expected after the Warriors return from two away games this Saturday. In other words, Thompson plans to return to the field next Monday and the Splash Brothers will be together again.
Thompson's comeback can be said to be a delay, with reports of his return at the end of December and later rumors coming on today's game against the Heat, and finally, Warnarowski revealed the news of the Cavaliers' comeback at home on January 10. This also shows from another perspective that the Warriors are very cautious about Thompson's comeback, after all, Thompson has not played in two years. I've been waiting for two years, and I don't care about this one or two, everything has to be done in a safe situation. Thompson also said on the live broadcast: "I can't wait to play, I'm about to come back." ”
Thompson had previously played a training game with his teammates in Denver, and Curry revealed that in that 12-minute training game, Thompson shot 17 times and hit more than 50% of the shots, and Iguodala said that he could always find Thompson in the game and pass him. Before the game against the Jazz, Thompson trained for three points in the bottom corner and hit 24 consecutive goals at one point.
Warriors officials also updated the social media, officially announcing that they signed Witherspoon on a two-way contract. Previously, the Warriors cut the two-way player Dowding to free up a two-way contract place, and now they have officially signed Witherspoon with this place. Previously, Witherspoon had signed a 10-day contract with the Warriors, and he did well, conquering the coaching staff and teammates. He played one game for the Warriors and scored six points.
Another piece of good news for the Warriors is that Green and Damien Lee have both lifted their quarantine and can return to the game. In today's interview, Green has not played for 9 days, and isolating this time has also allowed him to take a good rest. Speaking about his situation, Green said: "I feel very good... You still have to adapt to the speed, but it's great to be able to get back on the pitch. ”
Previously, Jazz coach Snyder had said Green should be in the MVP discussion. Green echoed the remarks in an interview: "I agree with him, I think it's said by a guy watching the game, I don't think there's a better explanation... What I do can affect winning or losing, and I think that's what should be mentioned. ”
